building a kingdom in the apocalypse

chapter 1 First Body Guard

Before I did anything I opened my menu and summoned the only body guard that I had which was the novice knight, in front of me a boy dressed in armor and a short sword at his side appeared. The boy had a feminine face with black hair and blue eyes; if I didn't know better I would say he was my long lost little brother that looked almost exactly like me.

"Mast I am ready to serve you however I can!" (Novice knight)

Well his voice is a boy's at least, but do you really have to be so nervous? The boy was shaking as he saluted me, however he was not looking at me was looking at my former assistant on the floor and counter.

"We don't have time to give them a proper service but once we have time I swear I will come back, but before that we need to take care of the living." (Me)

"Yes Master!" (Novice knight)

"Have you ever handled undead before?" (Me)

"No I have only sparred against my fellow knights, are undead here Master?" (Novice Knight)

"Yes and they are multiplying by the moment, I know where the survivors are and the undead so we won't have any surprises but I need to know that someone has my back in this battle." (Me)

"Leave it to me Master!" (Novice Knight)

[Intimacy and moral with novice knight has increased by +2]

"Alright be ready we are going out." (Me)

I unhinged the blade on the paper cutter and went into the next room only to find the head master holding his arm and a few of my students gazing at the old man, damn delinquency probably got the old man injured.

"Head master it's good to see you in one piece." (Me)

"Well... Not... in one... piece I'm afraid." (Head Master)

The head master moved his sleeve up to show me the bite wound, black veins started to move around his arm but hasn't spread that far from the wound, I'm pretty sure I can save him if I act now.

"Sorry old man I'll buy you a drink after all this blows over." (Me)

Before he could say anything I swung the blade down on his arm severing it instantly, blood sprayed across the floor as I wrapped the arm stump in my lab coat to stop the bleeding. I looked at my map to see that there was an extra dot beside us, I turned to look at the severed arm only to see it moving on its own and it even grew a mouth and eyes. The index and pinky finger were pointed up with eyes out the ends of them while the palm of the hand turned into a mouth full of sharp teeth, the novice knight acted before it could do any real damage. He pinned it to the floor with his sword but it was persistent and kept on struggling to get free but it wasn't going anywhere.

"Good job." (Me)

"What the hell is that?!" (Delinquent1)

"Is that a hand or a zombie?!" (Delinquent2)

"Thank you but who's the boy behind you is your family a family of knight or something?" (Old Man)

"Very funny head master the boy that is restraining your hand is a reward I got, it's hard to explain but I don't really have time to explain. Hey you two take care of the old man and follow close behind we are moving to the gym." (Me)

Thetwo Delinquent's came over and helped the Head Master up as I walked over toone of the cabinets to grab a Bunsen burner, I turned it on and faced ittowards the zombie hand after a few minutes of squealing and popping it finallydied and I got a few new notifications but I ignored them as we left the classroom. I had the novice knight stand beside me and the other three behind uswhile we proceeded towards the gym and the undead.
